Prom is approaching, what should I do?

So it's my senior prom and I'm the only one of my friends that doesn't have a date. I go to an all girls school so it's up to me to ask a guy out. I've been there for 6 years so the supply of guys has been fairly low, and I feel weird taking any of my guy friends. There is this guy that I met 6 months ago on a flight home and we talk regularly. He lives an hour away so we mostly Skype but once in a while we'll catch a movie. I want to ask him, especially because he didn't go to his prom, but he's 22. (I'm 17). Should I ask him or should i just take the hit and go alone?

Yeah, do it. I know how it works, I went to an all boys school, and at my school, you couldn't even buy single tickets, only couple tickets, so there was lots of scrambling to get dates.

There's nothing odd about being set up. There's nothing odd about asking a friend. And there's nothing odd about asking this guy. But of all three, you might as well ask the guy you kind of like if that's the last guy. People understand that being asked to things like this is sort of a date but not exactly because it's kind of like you need a date.

if you think you'd have a better time inviting him (either as a friend or a serious date) then I would totally do that! Age is a number and the only opinion that matters here is yours.

a girl in my class brought a guy in his late 20's and he ended up being super cool and everyone liked him :)

there's also no problem going to prom alone. A girl from my class went alone and so I walked her down the aisle (with my girls permission) and offered to dance half way through the night but she politely declined and said she wasn't the dancing type. she still had an amazing time though!

No matter what don't miss your prom or you might regret it! Have fun :)

don't worry just ask him out if he says no then no problem & I think you should go because at my prom 2 girls ask me to join them but I rejected now i'm feeling very bad & i think you don't wanna feel same so go & have some fun

Can I just say prom isn't everything, people say that prom is there best night of your Life, in reality it's just another party. Anyway back to you do what YOU think is best and ignore everyone else on here ok

It depends if your school would allow that. Also, I went alone and I loved it! hanging out with friends and doing bad all by myself. I could careless about going with somebody.. you don't always need someone to have fun girl.

22 is a bit much, honestly. There's nothing wrong with going alone in my opinion. Also, your date to prom need not be romantic in nature. Give the idea with going to prom with a friend some more consideration. I had the same thing on my mind back in January, to be honest (before I started dating my current boyfriend) and I asked out one of my girl-friends. The important part is having fun, ya know? Good luck <3

If you want to ask him... ask. If you want to go by yourself... then do it. I went to my Junior prom by myself... and there was a guy I knew wanted to go with me. I turned him down because I wanted to go by myself. The next year we ended up dating (he had graduated). I went to my Senior prom with him. It just depends on what you want to do.

I honestly feel that it's a little weird to take a 22 year old to prom. But that's my personal opinion. Keep in mind that your friends will most likely bring dates that are the same age as them. If I were you, I'd feel much less weirder asking one of my guy friends. I know what you're going through lol, I'm on the quest of finding myself a date too! Just don't do anything that you'll regret. You can have fun with your friends even without a date:) Good luck.
